Tutorial 1: How to install clothes mods.



Hello dear visitors.

Well, many of you are new to the whole "modding" thing, and want to know how to apply mods on their games. This tutorial will show you how to install clothes mods only. WARNING! This tutorial does not apply to other types of mods. Read carefully:

  • What you need:
     
    1. The mod:
      That's, of course, the first thing you got to have. You can browse the "modding" category for one.
       
    2. Glacier TexEditor:
      This is the tool that will do the job. It will import mods into the game. Download HERE.

  • What you should do:

    1. Extract the mod's archive to a new folder
    2. Extract the archive you downloaded, then run "TEXEditor.exe"
    3. Click on "Open Zip".
    4. Browse for your Hitman Game directory, normally "C:/Program Files/Eidos"
    5. Open Scenes Folder, then choose one of the Mxx folders (xx refers to the two numbers of the folder, example: M01). Each folder represents a mission in the game (for example, in Hitman: Blood Money, M01 represents "A Vintage Year" mission), so by choosing a folder, you choose a mission to edit. It's up to you to decide what mission you want to apply your mod on.
    6. In the Mxx folder, you will find an archive named "Mxx_main.zip". Select it, then click on "Open".
    7. Once the program finishes loading, you will have now to look for the files you want to edit. In the "Search" box, type "Hitman_01_Torso", then click "Search"
    8. The program highlights now the file we searched. Select the highlighted file, then click on "Import".
    9. Browse now for the folder where you extracted the mod earlier, and choose the file "Torso.tga", then click on "Import".
    10. The first file is now imported, but we still have another file to import. You will now search for "Hitman_01_Legs".
    11. Once the file highlighted, you select it and import the file "Legs.tga", found in the mod's folder, over the highlighted file.
    12. After importing the file, click on "Update Zip".
    13. Let the program finish, and there you go ! Close the program, and PLAY !
       
    IMPORTANT: You will notice that in some missions, the file "Hitman_01_Torso" does not exist, there another file instead, named "Hitman_01_Torso_open_jacket". Those missions require mods with Open Jacket Torso, that's why you should pay attention to the type of the mod and the type of file you will replace: Normal Torso Mods do not work with "Hitman_01_Torso_open_jacket" file, and vice versa.
